title: [Role of echography in early detection of ovarian tumors].
abstract: Within the last 10 years, ultrasonic screening was carried out in 11,996 females (27,000 examinations on the whole) on an outpatient basis. The reliability of the procedure in diagnosing ovarian tumors proved as high as 94.1%. Cancer morbidity for the last 5 years was compared in the ultrasonography and no ultrasonography groups. The occurrence of cancer in the former group was 7 times lower which was attributed to timely detection and removal of tumors capable of malignant transformation. It was concluded that large-scale application of ultrasonography assures significantly lower incidence of ovarian cancer.
